Is there a way of making my XP Pro computer automatically lock after x
time?

Under the Powere Schemes tab of the Power Options icon within control
panel you can tell the system to go into System Standby mode after x
minutes/hours of inactivity. Then under the Advanced tab you can check
the "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby". Input
your windows logon password and the system will resume.
 
As John said. See the following page for more information.

Why not add a password to screen saver?
